He has a username, and a service token. He can't remember what email he used. Is there a way for him to recover? If he was sent a password reset to his email he probably still has access to it.
He could, I suppose, just try to send a reset to every email he can think of.

Re: A friend lost his password
How many emails could he possibly have? I’ve been on the internet for the past 15~ years and only have 3, 1 of which is purely for work. Also, the email it’s associated with will have the account creation email in it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Re: A friend lost his password
I've been on the Internet for the past 35 years, and I have, by one count, tens or hundreds (I own domain names and make up new email addresses for every single entity I communicate with). But, effectively, I only have about 10 that I could easily get access to. Though, for a site that demands an email address before it will send a password reset, that 10s or 100s is very real. I never use a work email for anything that isn't directly related to the job I have them for, and I won't count those, though I probably have about 15 of those as well.Rseding91 wrote: Sun Feb 23, 2025 3:54 pm How many emails could he possibly have?

I also probably have about 5 that no longer work because the domains are gone (omnifars.moundst.mn.org and omnifars.mn.org are no more, I'm not even sure mn.org is a going concern with respect to handing out sub-domains to people), or they were UUCP bang paths. Sadly, I forgot who I was asking for, and so I don't know why _they_ have so many email addresses.
